Body Shop Treats.

Vitamin E Cool BB Cream

I visited Body Shop this weekend like i said i would however i came out with a totally different product i was going in for that's good sales men and gullible me for you. I was after there All in one BB Cream as i heard good reviews about it but I return with there Vitamin E Cool BB Cream. Im not complaining as this is just as good, however I was worried when i sore the colour of the foundation as it comes out like a dark beige and with having a pale complexion this does not go well together but once mixed with the primer and applied it no longer looks dark it adapts to your skin colour. Costing £10 for 50ml this is a bargain however i have used better BB creams but this is in my top 10.

   

Honey Bronze, Bronzing Gel for Face

Iv been wanting to branch out into bronzing products as i don't have any due to having a pale complexion and i wanted to start highlighting and contouring and i thought this would be a good start. Its only a 30ml bottle and for £12 thats quite a lot of money, it has a lovely subtle honey smell and a slight shimmer too. Part from using it to contour, which it is perfect for. I have also mixed it with my primer and used it all over when i want basic make up for sunny days. The only negative points i have about this is its thickness.

All in One Blusher, Macaroon 

The blush comes in a little plastic container with a clear lid so you can see what your purchasing, it isn't the strongest of packaging so if your thinking of carrying it around in you handbag all day be carefully. As you can see i have already removed the Body Shop logo from the front. The blush is well pigmented a single swipe leaves a decent amount on the brush, i generally have to use a light touch in fear of looking like a clown. The colour i chose was Macaroon which is perfect for me as   i had previously been using a light pink which washed me out. Costing £8 for one blush i will be buying this again as the colour is perfect.

Liquid Eyeliner, Black

I never go out the house without putting my cat flicks on, I have always used pencil as i found it a lot easier to apply but it dos not have a smooth finish. Since discovering this liquid liner im never going back to pencil. Its so easy to apply and it last all day. It cost £9.

Warming Mineral Mask

I was given this for free if i signed up for the Body Shop card, I was not expecting much with this with them giving it away but surprisingly it was awesome. I cried witch craft when i first used the mask as i was not expecting it to get so warm, i have used similar products and they only warmed slightly. This reaches a comfortable hot and afterwards my skin is very smooth and clean. This cost £10 when its not free.

June Glossy Box.

It has finally arrived, June Glossy box is here and again it is just as fantastic. This month is jam packed with full sized products and i love them all.

Organic Surge (Star Choice) 

This was my star choice from the collection as iv probable said earlier i love organic products. This conditioner is meant for fine and fly away hair it also advertise that it volume boosts and it did all of the above. It had a lovely refreshing minty smell and this lasted for quite a while. I have really dry hair and these sunny days don't help, but after using this conditioner my hair is super smooth and with it only costing £5 i will defiantly buying this again. The website currently has an offer on some of their stuff, check it out!

Monu Spa

When it comes to hand care i am very lazy, you can probably notice in some of the pictures where my hands creep in. But this pocket size cream is very handy (see what i did there) I take it every where i go now as i tend to do a lot of things that dry my hands out. Monu Spa are organic however there was a negative point which was the smell. Its a combination of lemon and lavender which is not that great it reminds of my Nan. I hope to find a better product. However if you are intrested in there Monu Spa here is a link.

Figs & Rouge (Must Buy)

I can not praise this lip balm enough 100% pure and natural, the packaging is so dainty and cute adding a touch of summer even to your lip balm. Another thing to add to the long list of things i suffer from it dry lip this is due to having such a booby bottom lip and i have used both carmex and Vaseline and they both work but not as long as Fig & Rouge and my lips aren't as slimy. I also support that it is created in Britain. I will be buying this again.

GOSH

Iv purchased GOSH BB cream before costing me £10 which is not a bad price as iv heard many good things about GOSH cosmetics and it did not let me down. So i was delighted to see there new Secret to longer lashes mascara in the box, it proclaims that your lashes grow in only two weeks, considering iv only had this for this for two days i might have to wait a while for the results. I will up date you on whether this truly works or not but i very much doubt Gandalf could make my eye lashes grow let alone a mascara. You can buy most of GOSH cosmetics in Super-drug.  

Mememe

Last but no means least is Mememe nail polish. Glossy box really needs to get there hands on some better colours because i do dislike dark colours when the sun is out. The polish has a easy wide applicator and it drys in no time, there's not much else that you can ask from a nail polish part from some funky colours and sparkle and with is only costing £4 i see nothing wrong with me buying some lovely bright pinks and reds. Mememe also offers other cosmetics for the face and eyes.

Just a quick up date.

I said in my earlier post i would up date you on the Beautiful Movements cosmetics primer and create mixing medium and here i am. Iv been mixing this with my liquid foundation to give it a smoother and dewy look and its fantastic even tho its transparent it still makes my foundation lighter which is good as im fair skinned. However i much prefer the Premae harmony primer also the price tag for this product is more on the expensive side costing £1 per gram, but overall its a lovely product and can be used for many different things such as foundation to eye shadow.

Glossy Box have just up dated on Facebook that they are dispatching the boxes so hopefully my June review will be up soon and i cant wait.

 Im off to body shop this weekend to purchase there all in one BB cream as i have heard some great reviews and can not resist body shop products and i might treat my self other things reviews will be up on Monday.

May Glossy Box.

Computer cookies are very cleaver they really know what people like and they certainly got me with this, i was drawn to glossy box like a moth to a flame. I can not resist new and beautiful cosmetics and this months was a delight.  

This is the May glossy box its a couple of days late due to only applying for the box near the end of the month, so you might have already read many reviews on this box.

The packaging is very dainty and cute, the items are dressed in glossy box branded tissue paper celebrating there 2nd birthday, tied in pretty pink bow.

  My favorite item of the box was the "Jelly pong pong, Fairy Lashes Mascara" mainly because it was full size but also because its the best mascara iv used yet. I usually wear max factor mascara which when using has to much product on the applicator and makes your eyelashes look clumpy, it also has a charcoal feel about it. However jelly pong pong mascara is like a gel, the applicator is easy to use and its simple to remove just kinda peels off. 

The retail price for this item is £15 which is at the higher end for mascaras but i would defiantly buy it again, its fantastic.

  

The next product in the box was Roger & Gallet shower cream, body lotion and fragrance. I'm not a big fan of sachets there's always to much for one shower but never enough for two. But never the less the products were delightful i felt like i was bathing in Mediterranean blossom flowers, the smell is very indulgent and it lasted all day i even got complemented on the perfume. This is perfect for the summer time i think everyone should wear a fruity perfumes.

Retail price for the perfume is £32, £13 for the body lotion and £9 for the shower cream.

This little beauty was a god send since discovering primers iv have gone through my fare share of them and so far iv really enjoyed this brand. It leaves a lovely light dewy texture on the skin making it easier to apply foundation, it also last all day. There is a slight scent of aloe vera which is really nice; another big plus is that its vegan friendly which i love, allergy friendly so the sensitive of skins can use it, great for me and its 100% natural. You cant go wrong with this product its ticking all the right boxes, however the price tag. Retail price is £27.50 for 30ml but if your searching for the perfect primer this is the one. Check out there website they accompany different skin types too. This is the star product from Mays Glossy Box.

 This was my least favorite item in the box, the colour was pretty dull so i checked out there website to see if they had some funky ones i was very disappointed, they have a limited collection of colours and costing £9 i would not buy nail polish from headline colors. Iv seen better in Topshop. However it went on very easy and dried quickly, if your interested in the polish its called Spotlight.

This tiny little sample is Beautiful Movements cosmetics primer and create mixing medium. Iv not really had the opportunity to use this as iv been engrossed with Premae Harmony primer, so as soon as i use it I will up date you. But check out there website they have various of cosmetics.
The retail price for the product it £20 for 20g 

Last but no mean least is the personal touch of the mini nail file added Glossy box, this is very handy as iv got a habit of losing nail file and clippers.
